And you got this failure because you configured glibc wrong. As always, the answer to this problem can be found in Dan Kegel's crosstools package, which knows how to correctly configure glibc. Since you apparently haven't taken my previous hints, instead of giving you the answer, I'm just going to point you at the crosstools package, and ask you to look it up yourself. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.specifix.com
